The Covid-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on levels of physical activity and mental health among the general population. The new realities arising from Covid-19, such as restrictions on mobility and ways of interaction, create mental frameworks for individuals experiencing these phenomena that interpret this emerging reality and are susceptible to investigation. A qualitative study with a phenomenological design was carried out, based on the lived experience of participants, to identify the social imaginaries of physical activity and health that emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic in university students studying professional careers in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Sports at the Bogotá D.C. campus of the Andean University Area Foundation. Results: Differences in social imaginaries of physical activity and health among students in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Sports were found to be influenced by the theoretical, conceptual, and practical frameworks in which their careers are pursued. Moreover, these aspects made it possible to identify strengths and areas for improvement in the academic process of the faculty. Therefore, this research generated valuable insights and new knowledge in the field of physical activity and health.
Keywords: Social Imaginaries, Physical Activity, Health, Covid-19.
